LeBron James is having another outstanding playoffs, posting a PER of 32.2 through the Cleveland Cavaliers' first seven games.

James has been with tremendous confidence during the playoffs.

“I think it’s the mental side,” said James. “At 22, I wasn’t mentally ready for this. You dream about it, you want it, but you don’t have the experience to actually know. I think in ’07, that was my first time going to the finals. Mentally, I’d never been a part of it so I didn’t know exactly how much commitment, how much sacrifice that you got to make — not only for yourself but for your team, for the better of it. But the experience, without the experience I wouldn’t be who I am today.”

Asked if he was playing his best basketball ever, James said, “I don’t know. We’ll see. I’ve been playing at the best for quite a while now. Since I was about 16.”
